Bruce Springsteen is indulging his favourite Irish pastimes during his two-week concert visit, ranging from linking up with friends to enjoying pints and savouring traditional Dublin fish and chips.

The US star fulfilled his promise to rock a sell-out 28,000 Nowlan Park crowd in Kilkenny last night – the second of his four Irish concerts. The New ­Jersey rocker recovered from a slight cold he suffered at the Belfast concert last Thursday and delivered a thundering three-hour set at his first Kilkenny concert since 2013.
